1.5.2 Battery Care and Storage
Observe these basic battery care procedures in order to avoid possible
damage to the battery and to maintain it’s performance.
WARNINGS
• Failure to observe the following procedures and precautions can
result in electrolyte leaks, heat generation, bursting, re, and seri-
ous personal injury.
• Battery electrolyte is a strong colorless alkaline solution, which is
extremely corrosive and will burn skin.
- If skin comes in contact with the electrolyte from the battery,
thoroughly wash the area immediately with clean water.
- If clothing comes in contact with the electrolyte from the battery,
discard the clothing.
- If any uid from the battery comes in contact with eyes, immedi-
ately ush thoroughly with clean water and immediately consult
a doctor. The electrolyte can cause permanent loss of eyesight.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children.
CAUTIONS
• Never dispose the battery in a re.
• Never heat the battery.
• Never strike or drop the battery.
• Do not apply water, or other oxidizing agents to the battery. This will
cause corrosion and heat generation. If the battery becomes rusted,
the gas release vent may no longer operate and cause the battery
to burst.
• Do not charge the battery using an AC adapter or charger not speci-
ed by Sunrise Telecom. Charge the battery only with the Sunrise
Telecom charger/AC adapter that came with your test set.
- If the battery is not fully charged after the battery charger’s
predetermined charging period has elapsed, stop the charging
process. Prolonged charging may cause leakage of battery uid,
heat generation, and or bursting.
- Charge the battery within a temperature range of 0°C (+32°F)
to +40°C (+104°F).
• Do not use the battery if it leaks uid or changes shape; otherwise
it may cause heat generation, bursting, and re.
• Do not short circuit the battery by connecting the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals together with electrically conductive materials,
such as lead wires, etc.
• Do not connect the battery directly to a power source or the cigarette
lighter socket in a car. Use the optional specied cigarette lighter
charger from Sunrise Telecom.

11HTT
• Never disassemble the battery. Doing so may cause an internal
or external short circuit, or result in exposed material of battery
reacting chemically with the air. It may also cause heat generation,
bursting, and/or re.
• Never modify or reconstruct the battery pack. Protective devices
are built into the battery pack. If damaged, excessive current ow
may cause loss of control during charging or discharging of the
battery, which can result in leakage of battery uid, heat generation,
bursting, and/or re.
• When the battery operating time becomes much shorter than its
initial operating time even after recharged, the battery has reached
its end of life and should be replaced with a new one.
Extended Battery Storage
• Fully charge the battery before storing.
• Remove the battery from the test set as shown in Section 1.5.1.
• Do not store the battery in high temperatures, such as direct sunlight,
in cars during hot weather, or near any other heat source. This will
impair the performance and shorten the operating life of the battery,
and may cause battery leakage.
- For maximum battery life, store the battery between -20°C (-4°F)
and +30°C (+86°F).
• During storage, the battery will need to be regularly recharged. The
interval ranges from approximately 30 to 90 days at temperatures
between -20°C (-4°F) and +30°C (+86°F). In general the higher the
storage temperature the shorter the recharge cycle.
- To recharge, install the battery into the test set and use the sup-
plied Sunrise battery charger to recharge the battery.
- Charge the battery within a temperature range of 0°C (+32°F)
to +40°C (+104°F).
• After long-term storage, there is a possibility that the battery will not
fully recharge. To fully charge it, charge and discharge the battery
for a few times. Use the test set to discharge the battery.

port.
CPTY: This is the downstream Capacity in percentage of utilization of
the VDSL connection (derived from the RATE/MAX speeds).
SNRM: Signal-to-Noise Ratio Margin is the downstream margin above
the noise oor where the signal and noise would be the same causing
the VDSL connection to drop.
ATTN: This is the aggregate downstream Attenuation of the signal
from the DSLAM to the HTT.
DELAY: This is the downstream Delay time from the DSLAM to the HTT.

DELAY: This is the delay time from the HTT to the DSLAM.
These screens contain the following F-keys
CONT (F1): Press to return to the previous screen.
RETRN (F2): Press to retrain the modem and restart measurements.
STORE (F4): Press to store the measurements.
Interpreting the Results
Fixed Rate Circuits
Fixed rate circuits specify an exact data rate for the customer. If testing
a Fixed Rate service, look at the following:
Rate: Conrm that the value equals the xed rate set for the circuit,
in both the upstream and downstream directions. For example, if the
circuit under test is congured for 384 downstream/128 upstream, a
downstream rate at 384 and a upstream rate at 128 should be seen.
SNR Margin: Conrm that the signal-to-noise margin complies with
your company’s requirements. A common standard is 6 dB, higher
values can provide more room for any introduced noise.
Rate Adaptive Circuits
Rate adaptive circuits specify minimum and maximum data rates for a
circuit, and try to attain the maximum rate set by the DSLAM. If testing
a Rate Adaptive service, look at the following:
Rate: This value should be between the minimum and maximum
thresholds set for the circuit.
SNR Margin: The signal-to-noise margin value also needs to be above
the minimum allowable margin. Commonly it is 6 dB, your margin
might be higher. Since rate adaptive circuits try to use all the possible
bandwidth, the noise margin will typically be very close to 6 dB (or
the minimum value).

3.1.2 Tone Table
This menu screen contains:
• BITS/TONE
• SNR/TONE
3.1.2.1 Bits/Tone
This feature measures the bits per tone distribution used by the modem
to transmit the provisioned rate. It displays the number of bits assigned
per tone as a graphic or as a table.
The rst screen allows selection of the following MHz ranges:
If Plan 997, use these: If Plan 998, use these:
SUMMARY: 0.138M–12.0M SUMMARY: 0.138M–12.0M
DS1: 0.138M–3.0M DS1: 0.138M–3.75M
USI: 3.0M–5.1M USI: 3.75M–5.2M
DS2: 5.1M–7.05M DS2: 5.2M–8.5M
US2: 7.05M–12.0M US2: 8.5M–12.0M
Note: US is upstream, DS is downstream frequencies.
After making a selection, press to view the BIT TABLE screen for
the selection made.
During modem initialization, a signal-to-noise measurement for each tone
is made. Bit distribution is then optimized to meet the desired bit rate.
Each tone can support a theoretical maximum of 15 bits. During operation,
the bit distribution may be adjusted to optimize bandwidth. The modem
constantly monitors the signal-to-noise ratio for each tone. If a tone de-
grades in quality, it sends a bit swap command to adjust the amount of
bits assigned to that particular tone. These bits may be added to a different
tone or taken out completely. An example is shown in Figure 9:
